Nick Pope - Concedes two goals against Leicester Pope made four saves but conceded two goals in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat against Leicester City.

Impact Pope kept his opponents at bay for much of Tuesday's game, but he was undone by strikes from James Maddison and Jamie Vardy in the final 10 minutes. It won't get any easier Saturday against Chelsea, which have scored 49 goals in 25 Premier League matches this season.

Ben Mee - Forced off injured Tuesday Mee was forced off in the 40th minute of Tuesday's match against Leicester City with an undisclosed issue.

Impact Mee made a key tackle about 15 minutes earlier and while he tried to continue, he simply couldn't make it. While it doesn't seem like a major issue, it's a wonder if it's muscle related, something that could take weeks to recover from. Nathan Collins came on for him and has a decent amount of experience as a backup over the last year.

Maxwel Cornet - Unused sub against Crystal Palace Cornet was an unused substitute during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Cornet had missed the match prior due to a foot injury but came back into the match day squad Saturday. Given his availability against Crystal Palace, it wouldn't be surprising to see him gain starting minutes Tuesday against Leicester City.

James Tarkowski - Makes seven clearances during draw Tarkowski made three interceptions, seven clearances and one block during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Tarkowski paced Burnley in clearances, which is the case most matches, though it was a key output from the center-back as Burnley made it three straight matches unbeaten. He'll return to the starting XI for Tuesday's home match against Leicester City.

FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dwight McNeil - Leads Burnley in crosses McNeil provided six clearances and made five interceptions during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact McNeil paced Burnley in crosses in what was a defensive battle from both sides. He does enough across the board to be a viable play in most matchups, including in Tuesday's matchup against Leicester City.

FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Wout Weghorst - Takes one shot on goal during draw Weghorst took one shot (on goal) and made two tackles (won one) during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Weghorst provided the only shot on goal for Crystal Palace as Burnley made it three straight matches unbeaten. He'll have a good chance to add to his goal tally during Tuesday's home match against Leicester City, a side who have struggled defensively this season.

FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nick Pope - Concedes once during draw Pope made three saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Pope had kept a clean sheet in two straight matches prior to Saturday's draw, so it's fair to say he's keeping his form. He was beaten off by Jeffrey Schlupp early in the match and otherwise played well. Burnley host Leicester City on Tuesday in what should be a decent matchup for an in-form Burnley side.

Matej Vydra - Back training on grass Vydra (groin) is back training on grass, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Vydra likely has another week or two before he's ready to make the squad for Burnley. He underwent a hernia operation at the beginning of February and will need to get back his fitness in addition to returning to full health.

FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Erik Pieters - Waiting for knee scan Pieters is awaiting the results of a knee scan following his removal from Saturday's match, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Pieters is unlikely to be ready Tuesday after tweaking his knee a few days ago and especially since the results of his scan aren't ready early Monday. Fortunately for Burnley, Charlie Taylor is healthy again and will likely be in at left-back against Leicester.

Erik Pieters - Exits injured Saturday Pieters was forced off in the 60th minute of Saturday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Pieters picked up a knock a few minutes earlier and was unable to continue Saturday with the recently returned Charlie Taylor taking his spot. It's unfortunate for Pieters because he was playing well in place of Taylor, but with this injury, his spot in the XI may be no longer going forward.

Maxwel Cornet - On bench Saturday Cornet (foot) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Cornet is healthy enough for the bench Saturday, which is a positive sign for his health moving forward. Burnley are using their same XI from the win against Tottenham, but this time Cornet will be able to provide a spark off the bench if needed.

Johann Gudmundsson - Out with new calf injury Gudmundsson is going to be out a while with a "tear in his calf," according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact It's a tough blow for Gudmundsson, who had already been out the last month after undergoing surgery from appendicitis. The oft-injured midfielder was having a solid campaign and now he may be out until April, pointing to more starts for Aaron Lennon on the wing.

Maxwel Cornet - Touch and go for weekend Cornet (foot) is considered "touch and go" for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Whenever Dyche says "touch and go," it usually means out for Burnley players. It doesn't help that it's a short week for Cornet, so it looks like he'll be out another match Saturday with Aaron Lennon and Jay Rodriguez most likely to benefit in the starting XI.

FEBRUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ashley Westwood - Available against Crystal Palace Westwood (COVID-19) has cleared protocols and is available for Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace.

Impact Westwood could make an immediate return to the starting XI on Saturday, but it'll be hard to break up the Burnley midfield, having won the last two matches and not allowing a goal with Jack Cork in the group. There's a chance Westwood is on the bench Saturday and then returns to the XI for the following midweek contest to allow him to return to complete fitness.
